h e l l o

Hi there!
June is over? So hard to believe.
As usual, it has taken me some time to adjust to the summer schedule.
My parents were here and were able to kick my home and yard into shape. It felt so great to spend time with them and have the extra help.

My mom and I spent time every day knitting. That felt great, too. I took photos of her new sweater that she finished while she was here. I'll be sure to show that. It's so cute!

A new delicious, refreshing summer drink was discovered.

Basil Mojitos
About 8 large basil leaves
3 tsp superfine sugar
1/4 cup lime juice
1/2 cup white rum
1/2 cup club soda
lime wedges
Muddle the basil leaves in a large cocktail shaker with the sugar and lime juice. Add rum, and ice and give it a shake. Pour over ice and top with club soda. Garnish with lime.
